Career Trajectory
Bio
Gonzalo Gajardo is professor of genetics, aquaculture, and biodiversity at University Los Lagos, Osorno, Chile. As a British Council postdoctoral scholar at Swansea University, Wales, UK, and as visiting researcher in Ghent University (Laboratory of Aquaculture & Artemia Reference Center), Gonzalo became interested in the brine shrimp Artemia ("the aquatic Drosophila") as a model extremophile for the study of adaptation and speciation, but also as the most used live diet for the larviculture of marine fish and crustacean, and a carrier of therapeutics. He focused on gene and population-level biodiversity, fitness, and other traits relevant to aquaculture and biodiversity conservation using the New World Artemia species from two magnificent and contrasting sites in Chile: the Atacama Desert in the north, and several sub-antarctic lagoons in southern Patagonia which are unusual settings for Artemia. The Atacama Desert is one of the driest in the world with several hypersaline lagoons in the Atacama salt flat that are an integral part of the world's largest lithium production, which may risk their high ecological value as habitat for endangered migratory birds like flamingos. Living in Osorno (40° latitude south), in the Lake District region, the beginning of magnificent Patagonia, with plenty of Andean lakes -some belonging to isolated basins with incredible rivers and unique fish freshwater diversity, Gonzalo got concerned about the impact of the booming salmon industry in the region, where salmonids are exotics. Chile mounted a first-class industry (the second world salmon producer) highly regarded by the government and society, but a challenging problem for sustainable development to scientists, policy-makers, managers, and conservationists. Naturalized rainbow and brown trout are also a threat to native biodiversity, but support sport fishing, another booming industry. In collaboration with colleagues from the Division of Population Genetics, Stockholm University, Gonzalo organized in Puerto Varas the first international workshop on “exploitation and management of exotic and naturalized aquatic genetic resources in relation to native biodiversity" (2003). With the support of two Darwin Initiative projects (DEFRA, UK) (2006-2012), in collaboration with colleagues from Swansea University and elsewhere, joint efforts were put on understanding and reducing the impact of escaped salmonids and naturalized trouts on native biodiversity. An ongoing international collaboration project seeks to understand the mechanisms by which harmful algal blooms (HABs) develop and affect aquaculture species and ecosystem sustainability. This project brings together Japanese and Chilean universities and institutions (UFRO, Temuco; UANTOF, Antofagasta; U los Lagos, Osorno, and the Fisheries Development Institute, IFOP. But also key stakeholders like the government (SUBPESCA, SERNAPESCA, MINSAL) and the private sector (INTESAL, INTEMIT). https:/www.mach-satreps.org/en/
